Daimler Truck at InnoTrans
At InnoTrans, the international railway technology trade fair held last September in Berlin, Germany, Daimler Truck, together with G. Zwiehoff GmbH and ZAGRO Bahn- und Baumaschinen GmbH, showcased 4 Unimog vehicles for rail operations. In addition, the company, together with Henne Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH and Zwiehoff, presented a new Unimog to Stadtwerke München (SWM) and Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) on site. The Unimog U 423, part of a fleet of 4 Unimog units that will be used for the maintenance of Munich’s tram network, is equipped with a Zwiehoff road-rail system, enabling flexible operation both on roads and rails. During winter operations, it can be equipped with the Aebi Schmidt VPL24 snow plow and the Bucher Municipal Yeti W25 spreader. In summer, the vehicle can be fitted with a flatbed body and an Autech rail-grinding trailer featuring a lifting device and hydraulic power generator. In addition, it can be equipped with a variety of implements for vegetation management, cleaning, and maintenance work. On the ZAGRO stand, visitors could see a Unimog U 423 rail-road shunting vehicle capable of moving trailing loads of up to 1,000 t. Its high tractive effort is achieved through the torque converter clutch, permanent all-wheel drive, and the excellent traction provided by the vehicle’s own tires when operating on rails. ZAGRO also exhibited a Unimog U 423, equipped with a Palfinger rail-road crane and a MULAG mower attachment. A Unimog U 423 configured as a rail-road shunting vehicle was on display at the Zwiehoff stand. Equipped with the Zwiehoff rail guidance system and a Knorr wagon braking system, the vehicle is capable of moving trailing loads of up to 1,000 t.
